Summary of studies examining rule selection in PD

Source Task Patient sample Result
Channon, 1997 Unidimensional classification learning 21 PD PD < NC d=.62
Channon, Jones, & Stephenson, 1993 Unidimensional classification learning 12 PD; Stages 2–3, M=2.75 PD < NC; (d=.64)
PD tested fewer correct hypotheses
Filoteo, Maddox, Ing, & Song, 2007 Classification learning (uni-dimensional, conjunctive or disjunctive rules) 12 PD; M=1.8 unidimensional rule: PD < NC other rules: PD = NC
Filoteo, Maddox, Salmon, Song, 2005 Unidimensional classification learning tasks 19 PD; M=1.7 <2 irrelevant dimensions: PD = NC
>2 irrelevant dimensions: PD < NC
Gauntlett-Gilbert, Roberts & Brown, 1999 Learned irrelevance shift on ID/ED task 10 PD Stages 1–3; M=2.25 PD < NC
Lewis, Slabosz, Robbins, Barker, & Owen, 2004 Learned irrelevance shift on ID/ED task 20 PD; M = 1.9
Compared ON and OFF
PDON < NC
PDOFF < NC
Owen et al., 1993 Learned irrelevance shift on ID/ED task 26 PDOFF (stages 1–3)
23 PDON (stages 1–4)
PDON < NC
PDOFF < NC
Price, 2006 Multidimensional classification learning 17 PD Stages 1–4, M = 2.3 PD < NC
Slabosz et al., 2006 Learned irrelevance shift on ID/ED task 20 PD M = 1.9 compared ON and OFF PDON < NC
PDOFF < NC
Swainson, et al., 2006 Five Dimension Task (Swainson & Robbins, 2001) 11 mild PDOFF
27 mild PDON
14 severe PDON
Mild PDOFF = NC
Mild PDON < NC
Severe PDON < NC
